“ Maplerun’s Restless did not surprise me. Restless convinced me… that we are dealing with a hard working band that aims at endurance and is not ephemeral. Mastered by Ted Jensen (Sterling Sound) and artwork done by Travis Smith: for a Greek self released album this is not an achievement but a statement…. One step heavier, darker and more metal than their previous album, Restless has a lot to say and not only to fans of modern American alternative metal/rock. A complete album with character and essence”

- METAL HAMMER (GREECE) 8/10 October ’12/Issue 334

“ An interesting combination of nu-metal, modern and alternative rock, implemented at its best - presented to the listener with a lot of feeling…The formation around the very charismatic front man Nick who´s gifted with a great voice, creates the balance between a pleasant kind of hardness and easy listening… The title track named “Restless” could surely pass even the most critical jury. A rocking masterpiece without equal. Other bands could really take a leaf out of their book...
Conclusion: It doesn´t always need to be “superhard” to be pleasant! “Maplerun”- are for me the best Greek export when it comes to music.”

METALUNDERGROUND WEBZINE (AUSTRIA) 4/5 November ‘12

“ Restless is an album that combines various music styles, with influences from Nickelback, Soundgarden, Marilyn Manson to Slipknot and System of a Down… Everytime you listen to it you discover new things… A band that has made a great progress with its second album and shows the guts to embrace diverse influences without making it sound out of place… I believe that “Restless” can help Maplerun to sign with a descent record label and get the appropriate popularity that they deserve abroad “

ROCKHARD MAGAZINE (GREECE) 8/10 November ‘12

“ Maplerun will make you wonder why such a band is still in Greece and hasn’t yet moved to the other side of the Atlantic were they surely belong. What exactly is it that other bands have and Maplerun lack? Great songs? Open up your ears and just listen to “Restless”. A lot of bands would love to have one of their songs in their tracklist ”

GREEK REBELS WEBZINE – RATING 8.5/10

“ After listening to the album for the first time I decided to set it on repeat. I like the tracklisting, the production, the albums ending, the influences from System of a Down and Nickelback and I really like the vocals…the music and production of the album is perfect ”
